ALL PEOPLE THAT ON
EARTH DO DWELL
William Kethe
Louis Bourgeois
All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Serve him with joy, his praises tell,
come now before him and rejoice!
Know that the Lord is God indeed;
he formed us all without our aid.
We are the flock he comes to feed,
the sheep who by his hand were made.
O enter then his gates with joy,
within his courts his praise proclaim.
Let thankful songs your tongues employ,
O bless and magnify his name.
Because the Lord our God is good,
his mercy is forever sure.
His faithfulness at all times stood
and shall from age to age endure.
THE CALVIN ALMA MATER
Dale Grotenhuis
Celia Bruinooge
Calvin, Calvin, sing we all to thee,
To dear Alma Mater we pledge fidelity.
Forever faithful to maroon and gold,
Thy name and honor we ever shall uphold.
Calvin, Calvin, God has been thy guide;
Dear Alma Mater, thy strength He shall provide.
Be loyal ever to the faith of old.
God’s name and honor we ever shall uphold.

COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
Dr. Susan M. Felch
Susan M. Felch has been a member of the faculty
since 1992 in the Department of English, and is a scholar
in the area of sixteenth-century British literature and the
intersection of religion and literature. She served from
1997-2003 as Director of the Calvin Seminars in Christian
Scholarship—a faculty program designed to promote
a strong Christian voice in the academy by addressing
issues of current debate within various disciplines from
the perspective of a deep Christian commitment and
encouraging the production of first-order scholarship.
In her role as Director, Dr. Felch worked tirelessly to
recruit top Christian scholars from around the world
for intensive study and intellectual community-building
on campus. She greatly expanded the program, moving
it from an original two summer seminars to seven
conferences and nine seminars in 2002-2003.
Susan Felch received her Bachelor of Music
Education degree with honors from Wheaton College
in 1972 and her M.A. in Theology with highest honors
in 1974. She completed her Ph.D. at the Catholic
University of America in Washington, D.C. in 1991
with a dissertation on religious literary criticism.
She is a dedicated scholar and gifted teacher and has
written or edited six books and numerous scholarly
articles and book chapters on topics as diverse as
cultural and literary theory, Reformation women,
pedagogy, Renaissance prayer books, and postmodernism. She has co-edited two volumes, Winter
and Autumn, with colleague Gary Schmidt, both
subtitled: “A Spiritual Biography of the Season.”
Winter, published in 2002 by Skylight Paths Press,
was selected as one of the best religious books of 2003
by the Massachusetts Bible Society, and was featured
on National Public Radio: The Connection and Tapestry.
Susan Felch also serves frequently as an invited
lecturer and has presented numerous academic papers
for conferences and symposia in the United States and
abroad. She is an ardent student of sixteenth-century
texts and has conducted extensive research in North
American and English libraries for her publications.
At Calvin she has served capably on numerous
committees including the Hekman Library Committee,
the Core Curriculum Revision Committee, the Honors
Program Committee, and the North Central Association
Accreditation Committee, to name a few. Her service
beyond the college is extensive, and she currently
serves on the boards of the Lilly Fellows Program in
Humanities and the Arts and the Renaissance English
Text Society. She has been an evaluator and adjudicator
for NEH summer stipends, for scholarly manuscripts
at The Catholic University of America Press and
Baylor University Press, and for the Conference on
Christianity and Literature.
Dr. Felch was selected for the Calvin University
Lectureship 2000-2001 – a cooperative program with
the Christian Reformed Church in which a scholar
speaks at major universities in the U.S. and Canada,
and at L’Bri in Switzerland. She was chosen in 2002
to direct an undergraduate honors conference for the
Lilly Fellows Program on “The Vocation of Teaching
in Religiously-Affiliated Liberal Arts Colleges,” and has
won numerous grants including an Alumni Association
Research Grant in 2003 for her work on “Pray as
ye think best”: the development of private English
prayerbooks. She won the 2002 prize for best literature
paper presented at the Sixteenth Century Studies
Conference: “Prayerbooks in their Pockets.” Her first
book on Anne Vaughan Lock, completed with the
assistance of a Calvin Research Fellowship and an NEH
grant, was awarded the Approved Edition Citation from
the Committee on Scholarly Editions of the Modern
Language Association as well as Honorable Mention
for The Josephine Roberts Edition Award, from The
Society for the Study of Early Modern Women.
Susan is married to Rev. Douglas Felch, associate
professor of theology at Reformed Bible College and
enjoys books, the piano, her cat, and her students.
MESSAGE FROM THE FIFTY-YEAR REUNION CLASS
As today marks the end of your journey at Calvin
College and the commencement of new challenges,
our Calvin class of 1954 extends our greetings, our
congratulations, and our best wishes to each of you
in the class of 2004.
What changes we have witnessed in the five
decades since we stood in your places! Some of you
are graduating with majors in fields not yet invented
in 1954. Threats of communism are now replaced
by threats of terrorism. Your chances of a lifelong
marriage have diminished considerably compared with
ours. And the rate of change continues to accelerate.
We can scarcely imagine the world you will inhabit
in the year 2054—if the Lord tarries that long. We are
happy to know that you will be engaging yourselves in
that world with the tools of your faith sharpened by the
discipline of your studies here at Calvin. We delight in
knowing that your professors have worked with you in
the framework of that faith, tested by their involvement
in the world of today.
It has been our privilege to take the gifts we were
given, enriched and nourished by our professors and
friends at Calvin, to be salt and light in the small
corners of the world to which we were called. A cynic,
looking at our world today, may tell us our work has
been fruitless. We can only say that we have, through
grace, sought to be faithful. And, in return, God has
been more than faithful to us. One of the signs of his
faithfulness today is that he is raising up new witnesses
to his truth and grace such as yourselves.
Our experiences have taught us that the world can
inflict more pain than we could have imagined as
young graduates. But we can also say that the amount
of joy in our lives has been immeasurably greater than
we could have guessed. We have seen that evil is
indeed powerful and painful to endure. We have also
seen that, in the end, love triumphs over hate, grace
over guilt, and joy over despair. –“For though the
wrong seem oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.”
After all, this is our Father’s world you will be
engaging. We encourage and applaud you as you
possess your small corner of the world in His name.
Rich Westmaas, for the Class of 1954

James R. Gage, M.D. ’60
Dios le pague are words that Dr. James Gage ’60 has
heard often during his frequent visits to Ecuador. Translated “God will pay you,” the phrase is offered by grateful
Ecuadorians to whom Gage has given medical attention.
“The people in Ecuador are very grateful, very
warm, very kind,” said Gage. They are also very needy,
which is why Gage has made 13 trips to the South
American country in the past seven years.
“In Ecuador, there are many communities that are
rural, poor, and largely Quechua that have no access
to orthopaedists,” he said. “I have a good friend there,
a medical missionary named Eckehart Wolff. He keeps
a list of the children I need to see; then when I go
down [there], I try to do as many surgeries as I can.”
The visits have become more frequent for Gage since
2000, when he resigned from his duties as medical director
at Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gage
continues as medical director of the hospital’s cerebral
palsy clinic, where the country’s second fully automated
gait analysis laboratory opened in 1987.
An innovative technological advancement in the
treatment of children with cerebral palsy, the country’s
first such gait lab was founded by Gage at Newington
Children’s Hospital in Connecticut in 1981. Prior to that
time, gait laboratories existed, but because they typically
required eight hours or more of manual processing to
enter data into a computer, they were too labor intensive
for routine use in a clinical setting. Gage envisioned
a way of incorporating research already being done on
gait analysis into an automated computerized clinical
laboratory. Although the resources for developing such
a laboratory were limited, Gage was determined.
Then director of the cerebral palsy service at
Newington, Gage was unsatisfied with the results
of surgery performed on patients with cerebral palsy.
“[Prior to gait analysis] I’m convinced we made as many
children worse as we made better,” he said. “I would talk
to parents, and they were unhappy with the outcomes. We
would start out with children who walked badly, and after
surgery, they would walk differently-not necessarily better.”
What was needed was a way to better analyze the way a
child walks so that doctors could more accurately predict the
outcome of certain procedures. “The treatment of cerebral
palsy at that time was an art, not a science. Nothing existed
to do testing,” said Gage, in a 1998 interview with Spark.
Though a chemistry major at Calvin, Gage also had
a strong interest in math and had contemplated getting
an engineering degree. His analytical side knew there
had to be a solution.
First, he approached United Technologies Corporation, a Hartford-based firm specializing in the design of
aircraft and defense systems. Here, engineers were able
to design a computerized system that would provide
useful information about the most important joints
and muscles used for walking.
The engineers were then able to devise a system to
gather data from individual patients. Reflectors attached
to the patient’s critical joints and muscles were videotaped as the patient walked. Data from the cameras
were then automatically downloaded into a computer,
generating frame-by-frame stick figures that showed
where the patient’s gait deviated from a normal gait.
With the technology now available, Gage needed
the necessary—and expensive—digital hardware. After
contacting a friend, he was put in touch with Digital
Equipment Corporation, which agreed to supply the
equipment at cost. Thus, the first automated gait analysis
laboratory opened at Newington Children’s Hospital.
Now, almost 23 years later, there are more than 50 such
labs in the United States and many more worldwide. And
now, as a byproduct, the technology, commonly referred to
as motion analysis, has become popular in the production of
animated movies and computer and video games.
A recently published follow-up on 178 children
who had been analyzed in Gillette’s gait lab and later
were operated on showed very positive outcomes.
“We were very happy with the results,” said Gage.
“You can’t fix an engine if you don’t know how an
engine works. We felt the same way about children
with cerebral palsy. You can’t improve results unless
you assess the outcomes of their treatment.”
Gage has shared his success through the publication of
two books: Gait Analysis in Cerebral Palsy (MacKeith Press,
1991) and The Treatment of Gait Problems in Cerebral Palsy
(MacKeith Press, 2004). He also has written many articles and
has helped train many others in the operation of gait labs.
Gage continues to be involved with the gait lab at
Gillette, the busiest in the country. “I cut down to half time
so that I could spend more time in Ecuador, though,” he
said. “If I quit operating here altogether, I would not be
able to keep my skills up to be effective in Ecuador.”
Both his work in Ecuador and the U.S. reflect his values
based on his faith, said longtime friend and colleague, Dr.
Steven Koop, who is now the medical director at Gillette
Children’s Hospital. “Jim is my idea of a physician,” said
Koop. “He thinks of a particular problem in the context of
a whole person; he thinks of the future. He listens well, and
he recognizes that care is given by a group of people, of
which he is one. He is a truly remarkable man.”
Gage is accompanied on his frequent trips south by
his wife, Mary Tebrake Gage ’60. Mary is a former
teacher, who now tutors English as a Second Language
to students at a missionary school in Ecuador. “We go
down there to get our batteries recharged,” she said.
Jim Gage agreed: “The pleasure in life is giving to
people. I feel like I still have a lot to give, and I still
have a lot of energy with which to do it.”
Lois A. Ackerman Raap, J.D. ’68
Just southwest of San Jose, 50 miles from the honking
taxi cabs and grandiose computer companies of California’s
Silicon Valley, sits the town of Los Gatos. Wend your way
through the neighborhoods and find streets with names
like Cherry Blossom and Roseleaf. The ranch-style homes
with neatly groomed rose bushes and carefully cultivated
lawns go well with the peaceful, garden theme.
Cruise down Lavender Lane and find more of the
same-until you get four houses down the block and
notice a different house-a unique house-with brown
trim. The front lawn is a hodgepodge of potted cacti,
tropical flowers, and overgrown bushes. The porch
includes a ramp leading to the door.
Step inside the world of Lois Ackerman Raap ’68.
Acacia, 15, lounges at the table chomping Doritos.
Nathaniel, 20, wanders around the kitchen waiting to ask
a question. Theo, 15, reclines with one shoe off in a leather
armchair. Through the screen door onto the back patio,
Lois hands out Popsicles to Vicente, 10, and Ruthie, her
one-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter who follows her
around like a puppy. Alyssa, 9, sits on a beanbag chair
nearby, her labored breathing echoing in the background.
The phone is ringing inside. The dogs are fighting outside.
Raap calls it a party.
It’s an understatement to say that Raap wears many
hats. She is a mother, grandmother, caretaker, counselor,
teacher, cook, lawyer, guest lecturer, neighbor, sister, and
wife—moving so fluidly from one role to the next that it
almost goes unnoticed—until you realize just how many
lives she has touched wearing all those hats.
“Not only has Lois provided a loving, Christian
home to numerous foster children, but she also
emulated Christ for her adopted and biological
daughters,” writes Raap’s daughter, Rachel Bouman ’98.
Peter Raap ’68, Lois’s husband and teammate, said
there is no use in counting the number of kids that
have lived under their roof. It’s beyond 40-with nine as
the highest in the house at once. He described his wife
as bright, hyper-organized, and “very high energy.”
“She outruns me,” he said.
Born in Grand Rapids, Raap became familiar with
challenges at a young age. Her father moved the family
across the country-from Michigan, to Iowa, to Minnesota,
to Illinois, to Washington-pastoring Christian Reformed
churches. By her senior year of high school, Raap ended
up in Bellflower, California, where she met Peter.
“Lois was looking for excitement, and I was looking
for stability,” said Peter, chuckling.
They married, graduated from Calvin in 1968, and
became teachers in California. Lois Raap soon realized her
passion was helping children with disabilities, so she pursued
a degree in special education from San Jose State University.
“Regular kids lack challenge,” said Raap. She views a
special needs child as a puzzle, and her mind immediately
starts working out how she will move the pieces.
Before boredom set in, the Raaps were off on their
next adventure. They spent nine years teaching and
working in Guam, where two biological daughters,
Rachel and Sara, were born. During that time, they
adopted Lani from the Philippines.
Eventally, the Raaps headed back to California.
They signed up in 1987 to be foster parents. Then Acacia
came into their lives. In addition to having fetal alcohol
syndrome, heroin addiction, and attention deficit
disorder, Acacia was diagnosed as being HIV positive.
The Raaps decided this was God’s new challenge.
After Acacia, they took on eight more HIV-affected
children. When friends, neighbors, and church members
reacted with fear, keeping their distance from the Raaps
because of ignorance about AIDS, they were devastated,
but they persevered.
“If I’m doing what’s right, negative opinions don’t
affect me,” Raap said. She clung to the story of Esther
and believed God put her in a place of influence for
“such a time as this” (Esther 4:14).
The “AIDS years” were followed by years of caring
for other “medically fragile” children with spina bifida,
bone marrow transplants, epilepsy, or emotional
problems. Sometimes, mothers would live with the
Raaps to learn how to care for their children.
One child, Alyssa, had been violently shaken by her
father when she was only 12 days old. Her parents were
both charged with child abuse and taken to jail. By the
time Alyssa was placed with the Raaps, she had been
diagnosed as deaf, blind, and brain-atrophied. Raap
worked on two fronts: nursing Alyssa at home and
fighting for the rights of Alyssa’s mother, Staci
Altemeyer, in jail.
Raap convinced the court to allow her to bring Alyssa
to jail for visits. After a long investigation, Staci was
eventually released, and her ex-husband was named the
perpetrator.
This was just the beginning of Altemeyer’s journey.
In weekly visits, Raap began to teach Altemeyer how to
be a responsible mother. She became a Christian and a
new member of the Raap family.
“I would hate to imagine what my life would be like
if I had never met Lois,” wrote Altemeyer in nominating
Raap for the award. “She truly was a light in my very
dark life. I am now in a good marriage with one more
child, and our home is full of a love that I felt for the
first time when I went to the Raaps’ home.”
The Raaps mourned at Altemeyer’s side on April 30,
2004, when Alyssa passed away. Lois said she was
eternally grateful knowing Alyssa was made whole again
in heaven. She joins several other children that have
gone on from the Raaps’ home to be with the Lord.
Lois and Peter talk about how their own daughters
have benefited from the foster care experience. They’ve
learned a lot of “life lessons,” including how to deal with
death and sickness.
Today, Rachel is an attorney in Sacramento. Sara is
mother to Ruthie and a real estate agent in Oregon. Lani
is mother to Peter and president of an adoption agency
in Washington. All three went to Calvin.
In 2001, Raap, always the learner, graduated from
law school. She smiles at the memory of taking the bar
exam alongside Rachel and being sworn in together in
Los Gatos. Today, Raap practices family law so she can
better represent the rights of foster children and parents.
That is in addition to caring for her ever-growing family.
The phone rings. This time they’re asking the Raaps
to take two more girls. The family of five grows to seven.
That will probably change tomorrow.

DEPARTMENTAL BANNERS
Throughout history, colorful banners have been used to mark important religious and civic events and to
celebrate the vision and spirit of the participants in such events. The departmental banners displayed at this
occasion arise from an awareness of this tradition and are meant to continue it. Besides symbolically
revealing the richness of the various disciplines at Calvin College, the banners graphically represent their
distinctiveness. Although their colors are mostly in keeping with traditional associations—scarlet for
religion and theology, blue for education, orange for engineering—their forms combine the traditional, the
contemporary, and the abstract.
Art Department
An abstract eye and hand symbolize artistic expression through the artist’s sense of sight
and touch. Bright colors against black suggest creative boldness.
Biology Department
Dominating the Biology banner is a symbol representing the structure of the DNA
molecule, deoxyribonucleic acid. The structure of this fundamental material of life, the
chemical basis of heredity, was revealed in 1953 and actually photographed in 1969.
Art
Biology
Chemistry and Biochemistry Department
The main symbol used in this banner is the electron distribution for tetrahedral hybrid
orbitals, which represents the chemical activity of the elements and their compounds.
Two segments of a crystal structure are included in the design, which are also the floorplan shape of the science building. The shaft of pale yellow symbolizes the light of
investigation. Yellow is the traditional color associated with science.
Classical Languages Department
Chemistry &
Biochemistry
Classical
Languages
While the lyre and the wolf may be taken individually as symbols of Greece and Rome,
together they portray the unity of the two civilizations and its cultural achievement, the
union of art and nature, and of poetry and myth. Horace has given this continuity and
fusion of the two traditions of Greece and Rome its classical literary expression in his
odes, of which none better, perhaps, than the “Integer vitae” ode conveys the intention
of this banner.
Communication Arts and Sciences Department
Sound waves emanating from a central core symbolize communication through speech
and drama. The reversal of the outward movement suggests feedback in communication.
Silver gray is the color traditionally assigned to speech and drama.
Computer Science Department
Communication Computer
Arts & Sciences Science
The banner of the Computer Science Department features a Turing machine, the
foundational model of digital computation. The zeroes and ones on its tape reflect the
binary logic by which digital computation is implemented. The changing colors and
order of the numbers express the transition as data move from input through processing
to output. The white shaft and its golden sheath symbolize the light and energy of
education and the sciences. The flowing wind symbolizes the transforming work of the
Holy Spirit as it infuses the discipline of computing.
Economics and Business Department
Shapes and lines express the charting and planning of economic budgets. Subtly
appearing among other symbols is a cross expressing the Christ-centered teaching of
economics at Calvin College. Copper is the color associated with economics.

Education
The relationship of teacher and student in the educational process is represented by the
forceful interaction of shapes in this design. The white shaft symbolizes the light of
learning in the Holy Spirit. Blue is traditionally linked with education.
Engineering Department
The Engineering banner illustrates the key activity of engineers, namely, their involvement with the design process, an iterative, decision-making sequence. Steps in the
sequence, represented by circles and rectangles, are connected by arrows to indicate the
movement from the initial problem statement to final solution. Two-way arrows suggest
the possibility of sequence reversal. Orange traditionally designates engineering.
English Department
Engineering
English
The two main symbols, the lion and the eagle, represent England and the United States
of America. The lozenge pattern in the background expresses the pageantry of England
during the development of the English language.
French Department
The banner of the Department of French features the Coq Gaulois, long a national
emblem of France, and the Arch of Triumph, a symbol of French patriotism. The cock,
traditionally the Christian symbol for watchfulness, has been adopted as its symbol by a
nation which since its inception has been one of the important cradles of Christian
thought and practice. The colors of the national flag are represented by the Coq Gaulois.

interior. The white shaft symbolizes the light and energy of learning stimulated by the
Holy Spirit.
Germanic and Asian Languages and Literature Department
The study of the Dutch and German languages is represented by symbols taken from

Library
The library as a gatherer, receptacle, and distributor of information, ideas, and learning
is represented by the abstract book shape, while the white, flowing shaft itself symbolizes the light and energy of learning in the Holy Spirit of God. The flame is the
traditional symbol of learning and discovery through research.
Mathematics and Statistics Department
Mathematicians have always saved time and effort by substituting symbols for words.
The basic arithmetical steps of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing are
depicted on this banner by some of the earliest ways of writing them down.
Mathematics
& Statistics
Music
The Renaissance calculator Tartaglia used the first letter of the Italian word for plus to
signify adding. Diophantus favored this minus sign in Greek times. Leibniz employed
this multiplication symbol in seventeenth-century Germany. J. E. Gallimard used this
reverse D for division in eighteenth-century France.
Music Department
The design of the Music banner emphasizes the rhythms of musical sounds. Shapes and
lines suggest strings, valves, keys, horn bell, drum, and other musical forms. Radiating
circles suggest sound waves. The colors express the various moods of music.
Nursing Department
Nursing
Philosophy
The traditional emblem of nursing, Florence Nightingale’s lamp, is featured in the
banner for the Department of Nursing. The flame of the lamp symbolizes the light of
Christian compassion and education. The gold of the lamp is the traditional color for
science. The background apricot color is the academic regalia color for nursing, while
the white shaft represents peace through the Holy Spirit.
Philosophy Department
Light refracted through a transparent prism symbolizes the many-faceted investigations
of fact and of principles of reality and of human nature and conduct.
Physics and Astronomy Department
Physics &
Astronomy
The construction of elements is symbolized in the Physics banner by the simplest atom,
hydrogen, with its single proton and electron. Also included in the design are a tracing
of the paths of particles from an atom and a segment of a crystal structure, which is also
the floor-plan shape of the science building. The yellow shaft symbolizes the light of
investigation.
Political Science Department
The banner of the Department of Political Science features a representation of the
fasces, a symbol of the authority of the state, and arrows that express the direction
and flow of the analytical and holistic nature of the process of law. The fasces, a
bundle of rods bound about by an ax with projecting blade, was carried before
ancient Roman magistrates as a symbol of authority. The white shaft of seven rods
also symbolizes peace and enlightenment through the Holy Spirit.
Political
Science
Psychology
Psychology Department
The Greek letter psi, the first letter of the Greek word psyche (the mind), traditionally signifies the discipline of psychology. The color red symbolizes emotion; blue,
rationality; and white, peace through the Holy Spirit.
Religion Department
Three symbols of the Trinity—circle, cross, and dove—express the fullness of God
as He reveals Himself as Creator, Savior, and Counselor. These symbols are
interlocked to depict the oneness of God. The shaft of white is the light of learning
in Christian education guided by the Holy Spirit. Scarlet is traditionally associated
with theology.
Sociology and Social Work Department
Religion
Sociology &
Social Work
The central concept of sociology, represented by the inner circle, is a person
interacting with other people to form groups. Total human society, represented by
the broken circle, is composed of many small units forming a larger interrelated
structure. All groups, from the family to society itself, exist within a framework of
social norms. This normative or cultural framework, represented by the unbroken
outer circle, promotes conformity, as suggested by the arrows directed from it
toward the inner circles of society and the smaller group.
Spanish Department
Spanish
The banner of the Spanish Department features the traditional symbols of the
historical kingdoms of Castilla (castle), León (lion), and Aragón (red and yellow
bars). These Christian kingdoms emerged during the eight-hundred-year-long
reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from domination by Muslim rulers. The separate
kingdoms were joined through the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, and
eventually coalesced into the modern nation of Spain.
